Samsung Galaxy A5 and A5 Duos review: Five star

30 January 2015
Samsung's newly found love for “premium build” is spilling down the ranks and if the new A-series get half the love and attention the S-line has been getting, it will be a job well done. The Koreans are right to try and stir things up in the midrange...

Hi guys have a question. ....can't make up which one to buy ....actually my aim was to buy the phone which have screen 5.5 inch and camera 13 mp with 5 my. ....
should I go for note 3 neo as it is 5.5 and also will get lollipop but camera is not up to mark as it is 8 mp and 2 mp. Or should I go for A5 as it's camera is good but screen is 5 inch...and non removable battery. ....third option is E7 screen size and camera wise it's up to my mark but no 4G and No Gorilla Glass. .... .

        Design is so good. Battery is safe for a day. Screen is good. But i was really disappointed with the quality of its camera! Blurry. Soft. Less details. No good. You'll get 90 % blurredness like Hell. I owned lumia device with 6.7 megapixels before. I must say nokia still owned the best camera quality esp pureview devices. I was so surprised with A5-5mp selfie front cam- blurred selfies. Lol honest comment.

                  Excellent phone, using A5 around 1 month, No hanging problem as someone had mentioned, Only problem is that the speaker is not loud and no OTG support.Anyone has any idea if lollipop update coming to A5.Battery Life approx 14-18 hrs depend on usage on LTE with single sim.On 3G it is coming 1.5 days approx.

                    I'm interested in this last paragraph:
                    "To be fair, the Snapdragon 801-powered, QHD-screen flaunting LG G3 is cheaper for the entirely wrong reasons, which we won't go into right now."
                    What does it mean???

                                Cool phone, cool stuff.
                                Believe me, Samsung Mobile spoilt the fun of these well built phone by making the battery irremovable.
                                It won't sell as anticipated. That is why mobile phones sell a lot more than tablets with fixed batteries.

                                  It's comparatively pricey for the hardware features offered...gsm arena you should have said this about iphone 6 witch is 2009 spek low end 1000$ phone...

                                    Good phone. Very trendy. Worked on beautification.. Nicely configured.. However the logic of irremovable battery is not understood.

                                      If any case the mobile battery not working properly in that case we dnt have any choice because the mobile having a inbuilt battery. .

                                        Good phone, with good camera. Processor is OK and consumes less energy. Beautiful display. I used many Galaxys, S4 was incomparable, but A5 is also beautiful and looks modern and elegant.
